You’ll never guess these gooey, rich, Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies are flourless, made all in one bowl and actually good for you! Deep dark chocolate x 3, with amazing texture from creamy pumpkin and the right amount of sweetness make this paleo treat an easy favorite for the holiday season or anytime.
*This recipe was one of my early ones and is still a favorite! I recently updated it to tweak the measurements just a bit, and add a chocolate drizzle on top. It’s still flourless, one bowl and easy to prepare!
What Makes Chocolate Brownies Special
Chocolate has that “save the best for last” quality to it, which is why it’s usually the last thing I eat before I go to bed. Double chocolate, triple chocolate, and more – it’s all okay – the more the merrier.
Now, let’s play a game and think about all the things chocolate can cure in life. We can even list them – I’ll start.
1.) Chocolate cures boredom and sadness. Actually, chocolate cures feelings, in general. Not that I think feelings should be cured ALL the time, but, let’s be honest, everyone’s feelings could use some “curing” SOME of the time, and chocolate is definitely one of the healthier quick remedies.
2.) Chocolate heals relationships. Because of the feelings thing, I guess. It’s hard to be really mad at someone while you’re both eating chocolate. Unless they’re not sharing. Or they smear it in your hair, on your clothes or on just-painted walls. This is basically how my kids behave with chocolate, now that I think of it…
3.) Chocolate helps you parent your children. If it weren’t for chocolate, all three of my children might still be in diapers. Plus, they’d never clean up after themselves or listen to anything I have to say.
I know it’s frowned upon to use food as a reward, but I don’t just use any chocolate – I use really rich and dark, character-building, antioxidant-filled chocolate to bribe my kids, and, I believe they’re better people for it. Or at least they’re not terribly worse off for it. Or something…
Ingredients in Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies
Eggs
Pumpkin puree
Coconut sugar
Maple syrup
Coconut oil
Vanilla extract
Cacao powder
Baking soda
Sea salt
Dark chocolate
Why should I put pumpkin in my brownies?
Pumpkin makes them healthy! Okay, so it also helps with the texture – pumpkin makes these flourless brownies gooey and moist. It also acts as a binding agent, so you don’t have to use as many eggs as a typical brownie recipe would require.
If you find yourself with extra pumpkin, you can use it up by making other pumpkin and chocolate recipes like Paleo Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies or Paleo Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips.
Can I use a different vegetable instead of pumpkin?
Sure! You could try another vegetable with similar texture like sweet potato puree or butternut squash puree too.
How to Store flourless Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies
You can store these brownies in an air-tight container in the fridge. They can also be frozen if wrapped tightly and stored in an air-tight container.
And, on that note, here is my delicious recipe for ooey gooey and HEALTHY Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies!
Get your ingredients ready and your oven preheated because it’s time to bake – let’s go!
Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies {Flourless, One Bowl}
Flourless Paleo Pumpkin Brownies {One Bowl, Nut Free}
Ingredients
Brownies:
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons refined coconut oil or ghee melted
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup chopped dark chocolate Hu Kitchen or Evolved Chocolate are great
Drizzle:
- 1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or ghee
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350° F and line an 8x8” baking pan with parchment paper on the bottom and sides.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg and yolk, pumpkin, coconut sugar, maple syrup, coconut oil or ghee and vanilla until smooth.
-
Add in the cacao or cocoa, baking soda and salt and stir until fully combined and smooth. Fold in the dark chocolate, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until set in the center.
-
Cool on a wire rack to room temperature. These brownies are easier to cut after being chilled in the refrigerator. You can top them with drizzle either before or after cutting.
-
Combine the drizzle ingredients in a microwavable bowl and microwave in 2 30 second increments, stirring in between, until melted.
-
Drizzle over the cooled brownies and allow it to set for about 20 minutes. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze to keep longer.

Haha thanks, definitely worth trying!
Chocolate totally solves it all. Excited to see you tomorrow!
Yes! And the mall…had a great time 🙂
These Will be the weekend baking treat. Thanks! So funny and true about the razor blades. Ha!! You had me laughing. Two blades maybe better than one. Three and four are far worse than even one! Happy weekend.
Haha the razor blades 🙂 It’s up to 6 now maybe! Hope you like these!
These will be made. oh yes they will. Chocolate cures all.
Love it! Hope you enjoy!
Chocolate makes me happy when I am sad. Chocolate solves all my problems. Well ok. Not all of them but for a moment makes me believe it does.
Yup, and those are great moments!
I want to roll around on a bed of these and eat my way out. Good gravy, lady.
When people ask how I recovered so quickly from this weekend, I tell them chocolate and beer. Not untrue.
Chocolate and a cozy couch!
I will be making these this weekend. I’ve been looking for a deep, deep chocolate brownie recipe for my dad, because we are a major dark chocolate family and so far most of the chocolate recipes I’ve tried just have not been chocolatey enough for him!
Haha this is definitely chocolatey and the pumpkin makes them gooey, and healthy 🙂
For each of the ways that chocolate heals, I feel like you could also add wine. These look great! You can always count on me to make the sweets.. I’ll let you know when I do! Thanks for the recipe
I was thinking the same thing about wine!
This is my favorite post ever:)
Thanks 😉
Chocolate is totally my favorite comfort food – so so yummy! Great recipe – I love it 🙂
Chocolate is perfect, now I’m wanting it reading everyone’s comments 🙂
Triple yum! I have a whole list of your dessert recipes I need to make once we’re home for a weekend, and this is going to the top! Chocolate solves everything, except when the problem is that all the chocolate is gone.
Luckily chocolate is pretty easy to find, lol 🙂
Really, if I didn’t have chocolate every day…..I would cry and those days would be the bad days 😛
It’s definitely happy-making 🙂
Bahahaha! It helps us parent our children, NO DOUBT! I pack little chocolates in my purse for when we’re at an appointment and Callum starts freaking, or when we’re driving home and I don’t want him to fall asleep and ruin his nap, and then when we’re home and he’s in bed, I eat it all to heal my soul.
Yup, those things are key parenting skills!
Chocolate does cure everything! Hooray for that lets make brownies! I Triple chocolate sounds like the perfect amount of chocolate to me 🙂
Agree! Any way we can get more in is a good thing 🙂
I’m enjoying a Larabar with chocolate chips as we speak! Definitely exactly what I needed this cloudy afternoon 🙂
Yum, love Larabars!
chocolate adds that last little satisfaction. You know? Life is complete! haha. gooey love!
Yes! That’s why I need it before bed, right now actually!
Okay be seriously, this recipe is pure genius! And it looks scrumptious, perfection. I give the recipe triple chewy thumbs up 😀
Haha! I’m craving chocolate all over again 🙂
Chocolate!! What a blessing. And now, you made me want to go bake Chocolate brownies at 10 pm… ;-D Well, it will probably have to wait till tomorrow. These do look SOO yummy.
Hope you enjoy them 🙂
Love this recipe!! Totally making this week!! Think I can reduce the sugar?? I don’t like things too sweet and 1 cup seems more than I usually use for lots of my baked good odds. Thanks!!
You can definitely try reducing the sugar based on your tastes. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks Michele!! I hope to make them on Monday and I will for sure let you know how they turn out. I just recently discovered and subscribed to your blog and loge it and you have so many recipes I plan on trying, like your chocolate chip donuts with chocolate ganache!!!
Lori 🙂
You’ll love those donuts, awesome!
I made these and cut out the coconut sugar completely, instead using 1/3 cup pure maple syrup. They were PHENOMENAL!!!
Hi Michelle-
Do you have any other recipes that include a cup of pumpkin purée? I already made similar brownies of yours prior. Do you have a paleo pumpkin cupcake recipe perhaps?
My colleagues loved the fig truffles by the way. Nice work!
Nadia
My pumpkin bread has been getting great reviews from everyone, I also have pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! You can use the search bar (on laptop or desktop) to search “pumpkin” to get all the pumpkin recipes!
So I am making this for my church small group tonight and I used a whole can instead of a cup on accident! It’s in the oven now?! Will it be bad? Should I cook it longer? I am upset! 🙁
Eek sorry about that! I know the frustration that goes with baking sometimes. My best guess it to bake until it appears to be set (it will be gooier), then chill thoroughly to help it firm as much as possible. Additionally, if you can melt some extra chocolate to drizzle over the top (then chill to set), it might help balance the pumpkin flavor. Using the freezer to chill might also help, they’ll be extra goey but it’ll be easier to cut them the colder they are. Let me know what happens!
Thanks! I didn’t see this in time… But the drizzle of chocolate on the top would’ve been a great idea! They were definitely a bit more gooey but still not bad. Just probably not as sweet as they were going to be…
I just made these. Instead of pumpkin pure I used sweet potato pure. Omg! They are solo good! I am very picky with brownies. These came out fluffy, ultra soft, chocolate rich flavored. I just love there is no flour in the recipe! Definitely in my 4 star categories recipe book now! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Sound great!! So happy you liked it 🙂
Um…has anyone ever told you that you are a recipe genius? Surely I’m not the first!
Hahaha, well thank you! And glad you liked these 🙂
Do you think it would be fine to melt the chocolate and then put it in the batter? Excluding the chocolate chips of course. I did that in your sweet potato brownies and it was great
Yup that would work well, these are somewhat similar to the sweet potato ones 🙂
I just made this and it is crazy good! Thank you!
Is it possible to sub cocoa powder in place of the chopped dark chocolate?
I made these for a Thanksgiving treat, and they were a hit! Thank you for providing a simple yet delicious alternative to the gluten-filled Thanksgiving desserts I miss 🙂
I will add for other readers that based on my oven (and maybe lack of mixing skills?) that after baking for 22 minutes and cooling for an hour, the middle of my brownies were still quite gooey. So I put them back in for about 15-20 minutes (took out in 5 minute intervals to test w/ a toothpick). After cooling again, they were a nice fudgy consistency. This is probably an issue w/ my oven and my sub-par baking skills 🙂 Thanks again!
These Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies are amazing! My daughter-in-law made them before Thanksgiving, and I just made them again yesterday. They are a sure-fire cure for a chocolate craving! Plus, they are so easy to prepare. Thank you for yet another fantastic recipe!!
These are so good! I made them yesterday and I think I’ve already eaten half of the batch by myself because they taste so good!
How do you store these? I made these brownies and they were super good! However, the chocolate chips melted and did hold their shape. How do I prevent this? They were also very fudgy and less brownie texture. Any suggestions?
I like to store these in the refrigerator, they can also be frozen.
These are incredible! I was looking for a nut-free treat to make my sister, and these were a total crowd pleaser for the whole family. I did have to cook it for a little over 30 minutes (after 20 minutes in the oven, I put it back in for 3-4 minute increments). We couldn’t wait an hour to take a little taste – which was delicious – but it definitely did firm up after cooling completely. The final product just melts in your mouth – its deliciously rich!
I’ve made these three times now. They taste great but I have trouble cutting them as well as eating them because they crumble so readily. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
Delicious!!
I have made these twice and I’m getting ready to make a third time. I also needed to bake a little longer to get them to firm up, but holy moly are these delicious. I’ve literally never had a Paleo Running Momma recipe that I don’t love. You’re becoming my go-to for all the things!
Pure awesomeness!! My favourite brownie recipe ?
These are fantastic! Best brownie texture in my opinion – rich, fudgy and soft without being overly gooey or cakey.
I made mine with Splenda instead of coconut sugar and used sugar free chocolate chips as well as dark chocolate. They’re really good! You can’t even taste the pumpkin.
What is it that you drizzled on top? Making this for Thanksgiving! Thank you!
A few questions from a non-baker:
I’m going to double the recipe and put it in a 9×13. How much extra time would you recommend baking?
Also, I have semisweet chips and 70% chocolate in my pantry. I think that would be a little sweeter than the recipe calls for – should I reduce the sugar? Maple syrup?
The flavour of these were great however I found the baking time to be way off! These took about an hour for me to cook, and which is quite different than the recipe.
These brownies are so decadent! I haven’t drizzled the topping on (yet) and I’m not sure I will. As others noted, the baking time was closer to 35 minutes and they could have probably had more; but I like mine fudgey!
Chocolate cures anxiety. I usually make brownies with marshmallows as the secret ingredient. I’ve never tried pumpkin. These sound almost healthy.
These look amazing! I have an egg allergy, so wondering what a good egg replacement option would be?

OMG – these are so good!! I have been looking for a good brownie that wasn’t made with almond flour. Texture is spot on. Will definitely be made again and again!
Excellent desert i love this very much
Hi! I really want to try this recipe but it’s not clear how to use the dark chocolate. Do I chop it up into chunks? And I melting it first? Thanks got the clarification.
I tried this recipe today, and my kids loved the brownies I made. Thank you for sharing; I’m going to make butternut squash brownies this weekend to see if it’s delicious like pumpkin or not.
Made these with my 5 year old son today great recipe all mixed by hand. My husband who is not paleo said these were the best brownies he’s ever had! And I bake quite a bit.
Amazing information admin
Oh yum! Without a doubt the best paleo brownies I ever eaten. These just became a new favorite in our house. The pumpkin is a game changer — and you wouldn’t guess there is pumpkin in the finished product. So moist, chocolatey, and delicious. There was enough pumpkin leftover that I made a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies — also a hit (and I got 36 cookies out of the batch).
